Courses
|
Annually Taught Couses
- VIZA 654 / CSCE 646 - Digital Image.
This course provide a thorough grounding in the state of the art in the treatment of digital images,
particularly within the context of computer graphics, and digital effects.
It is designed to prepare students to understand existing systems for storage,
display, transformation and manipulation of digital images write their
own software for working with digital images undertake creative work and research involving digital images.
The course is crosslisted with Computer Science and Engineering.
- VIZA 656 / CSCE 647 - Image Synthesis.
The course covers
rendering techniques that include the algorithms that simulate
various properties of light propagation such as
ray tracing, volume rendering, backward ray tracing, radiosity
and photon mapping. The course also covers practical applications
of mathematical concepts such as vector,
matrix and quaternion algebra, and projective geometry.
In a step by step fashion,
the students develop a ray tracer and extend
it to either a backward ray tracer, volume renderer or
photon mapping system.
The course is crosslisted with Computer Science and Engineering.
Bi-Annually Taught Couses
- VIZA 616 - Rendering & Shading.
The course covers exploration of advanced rendering and shading techniques
for the attainment of a desired visual effect; topics may include shading languages,
attainment of visual realism,
integration of rendering and modeling tools, and non-photorealistic rendering.
- VIZA 657 / VIZA 648 - Computer Aided Sculpting.
This is a shape modeling course
that teaches parametric representations, subdivision schemes, implicit
representations, free-form deformations
and topology. Parametric representations includes topics such as Bezier surfaces,
B-Splines, Beta-splines, NURBS, Kochaheck-Bartels,
Interpolation Splines, parametric and geometric continuity.
Implicit representations covers subjects such as
Ricci and Rvachev operations,
Blobs and Metaballs, Superquadrics, Hyperquadrics and Ray-Quadrics,
and Blinn's exponentials. Subdivision schemes includes
topics such as Catmull-Clark,
Doo-Sabin,
Non-uniform rational subdivision surfaces, Loop scheme
and eigenvalue analysis.
The course is crosslisted with Computer Science and Engineering.
- VIZA 641 - Visual Storytelling.
This course is an exploration of visual storytelling techniques
for the attainment of desired storytelling effects;
includes character development, using shots, camera, lights,
props and background elements, master plots,
one and multi-panel cartoons, comics, storyboards,
animatics and story-reels. The content of this course is partly covered in
an earlier
Viza 617 - Advanced Animation course.
- VIZA 665 - Digital Compositing.
This course basically came out of
VIZA 665 - Computer Animation course, to clearly focus
digital compositing techniques. The course covers practical techniques
for recovering information from real images such as position and
orientation
of the camera, camera parameters, orientations and positions
of real objects and lights, surface properties of the objects and
properties of lights. These techniques are based
on current research in
Image Based Rendering and 3D photography.
Previously Taught Courses
- VIZA 613 - 3D Modeling and Animation.
This course covers
animation principles such as anticipation and follow through,
timing, squash and stretch, staging and weight
with a series of homeworks and projects.
The homeworks and projects
are short animations mostly created by using
3D modeling and animation software.
Each homework is specifically designed
to teach at least one animation principle.
The course also covers 3D shape modeling concepts
such as polygonal modeling, NURBS,
patch modeling and subdivision surfaces with another series of
weekly assignments.
- VIZA 615 - Computer Animation.
This is a technical directing course that teaches practical techniques
for recovering information from real images such as position and
orientation of the camera, camera parameters, orientations and positions
of real objects and lights, surface properties of the objects and
properties of lights. These techniques are based
on current research in
Image Based Rendering and 3D photography.
The course also covers storytelling.
By using some of these techniques,
students integrate CG elements into their video shots.
Students develop their project with weekly homeworks
starting from a story idea. Each week they improve the story
step by step
by developing rough and final storyboards, concept sketches,
animatics and video editing.
